Biking

Glacier Country is a hunter's paradise. You can hunt elk in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, antelope on the short-grass prairies, upland birds in the foothills, and moose in the low bogs of our rugged mountains. When it comes to wildlife diversity and hunting opportunities, Montana has something to satisfy nearly everyone. Hunting outfitters and guides are available to help you plan your adventure. Glacier Country’s deer and elk thrive on vast natural landscapes. In Montana, you pursue your passion for the hunt in settings that are the envy of any outdoor photographer.

Apply for your license and prepare to reconnect with the natural world with an authentic and unforgettable hunting experience. Apply online for a Hunting License. A hunter who is born after January 1, 1985, must submit, with all hunting license applications, a certificate (or copy of certificate) verifying he/she has completed a course in hunter safety from any state or province.

The Proper Use of ATVs In The Hunt

Know the vehicle use regulations where you are hunting by contacting the land-management agency responsible for the area. Off-trail use on most Montana public lands is illegal, even for game retrieval. It is illegal to hunt from any motorized vehicle, including ATV's. This is one of the most common hunting violations. The only exemption is for disabled hunters who may apply for a Permit To Hunt From A Vehicle. It is also illegal to use ATV’s to concentrate, drive, rally, stir-up, corral or harass wildlife. Retrieve harvested big game only from the nearest legal road or trail open to ATVs during the middle of the day to reduce conflicts with other hunters. ATVs and motorcycles used off-road on public land trails must be registered as an Off-Highway Vehicle and display a decal. For non-residents, Montana honors OHV registrations in other states and offers a temporary non-resident OHV permit for those machines not registered in another state. If you plan to ride on public roadways, including U.S. Forest Service roads, your ATV must be registered as a motor vehicle. The only exceptions are those U.S. Forest Service roads specifically designated for use by OHVs. In those cases the OHV must display an OHV registration decal.
